Take it easy at this unique and tranquil cliff top getaway. It's all about the panoramic and unobstructed water front views! Have a wonderful job time to rest, relax and enjoy the lake. This is half of a duplex with an open floor plan, a primary bedroom, a bedroom loft, a full bathroom with shower and a fully outfitted kitchen. Just step out from the family room to enjoy your morning coffee with a beautiful sunrise, evening drinks, or even dinner on the private HUGE deck overlooking the beautiful lake. A 5-8 minutes drive gets you to the Rough River Dam State Park and all their amenities.
In addition to the dedicated oversized deck with furniture, dining table, ceiling fans and a gas grill, the outdoors offers a fire pit and additional lookout deck that is shared with the other unit in the duplex. There's plenty of parking for several cars and even a towed boat in the semi-circular gravel drive. The community around the lake offers several fantastic restaurants, boat rentals, kayak rentals, festivals and activities.
I'm happy to host guests with 1 dog ($50 pet fee applies) with host approval. No cats.
There is no direct lake access, but there are plenty of options for lake activities close by. I'm happy to make recommendations for your visit.
For the security of our property and our guests, there are security cameras on the exterior of the building only. They do not film activity inside the building or the attached decks.
Please acquaint yourself with our cancellation policy. We always recommend travel insurance to protect yourself against unforeseen events.

Beautiful lake view. Very nice covered deck that stayed dry during some pretty heavy rain. Just far enough ‘away from it all’ to enjoy some serenity. 30 minutes to most restaurants, stores. Lovely farm across the street that sells fruit/veggies/meats/jams/baked goods. Grateful that I was able to bring my sweet dog with me. Host communication was excellent. Hope to be back one day!
Was very clean, decorated nicely. The view was stunning. Was very peaceful and enjoyed a relaxing stay. Nicely stocked kitchen. Bed was comfortable. Host was easy to communicate with and answered all of our questions.
We loved the property! The porch was amazing!
The beds were comfy. The shower was small, but it was stocked with complementary shampoo, conditioner, and body wash. We loved our stay here!

Thank you, Whitney,
We are so glad that you had a great stay! We'd love to have you again.
Very impressed with the property. Chrissy, one host was very pleasant to work with . The house was decorated so cute and the bed was extremely comfortable.
Thanks, Kristi! We would love to host you again! Btw, if you see this, please reach out to me. I still have your granddaughter’s pillow and would be happy to figure out how to get it back to you.
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay, the view of Rough River Lake is unbeatable. Very clean, kitchen had everything needed. Huge covered deck had plenty of seating and gas grill. The host was wonderful, great communication including tips for local places & things to do.
If you're looking to get away from it all and want remarkable views, this is the place to stay. The property was clean, well-stocked, and communication with our host was outstanding. We were lucky enough to experience a full moon during our stay and the reflection of it across the water was breathtaking!
This little cottage is adorable, comfortable, and the views of the lake are superior. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. We plan to schedule again and bring the hubbies next time. Easy to find and close to interesting things to do.
